giving space to the weekly call list, obstetric calls, memoranda, etc., etc. The book also contains a nice calendar for 1895, and many valuable tables, among which may be mentioned-table of doses, doses of medicine for children, prediction of date of confinement, artificial respiration, care of galvanic batteries, clinical examination of urine, chemical examination of urine, diagnostic table of eruptic fevers, etc. The book is handsome and convenient.

Publishers' Notes.

See new advertisement of Hastings Truss Co.; in at the last

moment.

See Sewanee Medical College new announcement, and note that a course of ten months is now given, and a diploma is granted after attendance on two such courses. This is a wise provision, and reconciles the college with the requirements of the college association.

I will unhesitatingly say that I consider Peacock's Bromides much superior to the ordinary bromides, and the Chionia I believe to be an extremely successful preparation or a very valuable therapeutic agent. I have used both with excellent success. JOHN J. SHAW, M. D., Plymouth, Mass.

Arsenauro in Rheumatism.-Dr. W. C. Wile, in his N. E. Medical Journal, for October, speaks very highly of Arsenauro (bromide of arsenic and gold) in muscular rheumatism, and under the head of a "gold clinic" details his experience with the remedy, not only in rheumatism, but as a tonic restorative in general debility, and also in other cases where such a remedy is indicated. Dr. Wile is high authority.

Saddle Bags.-The Stephens patent saddle bags are made of the best material. They are simple in construction, compact and convenient. There is no bag on the market that gives more general satisfaction or better service. Don't be deceived into buying a cheap saddle bag when a trifle more will get the best. Write to the Weller-Stephens Saddle Bag Co., St. Louis, Mo., for descriptive circulars and price list.

Send Twenty Cents in Stamps to McArthur's Hypophosphite Co., Boston, for McArthur's Pocket Dictionary, 1895. "Handiest and most useful little book for the physician that we have seen. Contains doses of drugs including new remedies, a list of

disinfectants and how to use them, antidotes for poisons, methods of treating emergencies, an obstetric ready reckoner and other valuable information."-Brooklyn Medical Jaurnal.

The war among the tablet manufacturers gives an idea of the immense profits druggists have been reaping for years. The Physicians Mutual Manufacturing Co. of Chicago claims the credit of breaking the combination as the first manufacturers to sell direct to the physician, reserving no profit for the druggists. Prescriptions, at its prices, average about one quarter of a cent each. See the ad. in this issue. All its preparations are fully guaranteed.

Doctors will be interested in the new announcement of the New Orleans Polyclinic. Clinical material is the prime requisite of a post graduate medical college, and it is well known that New Orleans stands at the head as a clinical center. The great "Charity," with its hundreds of beds, is accessible to the N. O. P., and the professors are as ambitious as they are talented; and that is a splendid combination for a "touch down." Read the advertisement.

WASHINGTON, D. C., September 11, 1894. GENTLEMEN:-I desire to thank you for samples of the drug, often but poorly imitated, made by your firm and known as "Antikamnia.'

The adoption of the monogram on the new tablets and the recall of all the old stock from the market, will prove of benefit to you and the many physicians who may hereafter desire to afford relief by its use. Yours respectfully,

C. E. POSTLEY, M. D., 1429 11th St., N. W. To the Antikamnia Medical Co., St. Louis, Mo.

NOTE. Because of the adoption of monogram tablets of Antikamnia the sale of Antikamnia in powders, as heretofore, will not be discontinued as has been asserted. It is a mistake.

A Famous Show of Beauty.-The show of distinguished beauty, transfixed by famous artists, which is now taking place at the Academy of Fine Arts in New York, has been anticipated by The Cosmopolitan Magazine in its November issue, in an article by Wm. A. Coffin, with illustrations of some of the more beautiful faces. The "Great Passions of History" series has for this month's subject the romantic career of Agnes Sorel, who influenced the destinies of France under Charles VII. "The Art Schools of America," "The Great British Northwest Territory," "The Chiefs of the American Press," and the "Public Library Movement," are amongst The Cosmopolitan's table of contents. Survivors of the war and their children will find intense interest in "The Story of a Thousand," a personal narrative begun in

In many Cases of chronic bronchitis and bronchorrhoea, the emulsion of petroleum is also of undoubted value. The following combination has been found to act well in these cases:
